Thalapathy Vijay’s final film Jana Nayagan was previously stuck in limbo due to a conflict with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). In a major blow to the Tamil film industry, the film has been leaked online in high definition (HD) ahead of its theatrical release, prompting the makers to initiate swift criminal proceedings. The Cyber Crime Wing of the Tamil Nadu Police on Saturday initiated a detailed investigation into the alleged leak of movie scenes.
